Coaching great Tara VanDerveer opens the doors for an All-Access look inside the successful women's basketball program at Stanford University. Using the first three practices of the 2010-2011 season, Vanderveer shows you how she and her staff prepare the Cardinal for competition.

All Access videos are designed to allow viewers from all over the world to see how successful coaches run their practices in a "live" practice setting. All Access videos allow viewers to see the practices un-edited and in real-time. You will see how top coaches run their drills, interact with their team and staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day. Many coaches visit successful colleges and high schools to watch practice. But if you live out of state or out of the country, visiting another coach's gym can be costly. That's why we created the All Access Practice Series of videos -- to bring the practices to you!

Nice to watch a Stanford practice, however, in the video description it sounded as if the coach would explain the drills (how to run and purpose)and tell me why she does certain drills. The purpose of the drills are not explained. My team runs the triangle offense so I am able to get a few ideas from it, but overwhelming amount of video to watch with no explanation into their thinking/planning. All you watch is her first few practices.
